Sound Waves Quiz

Explain how sound waves are produced.

Why do sound waves travel faster through solids than gases?

• Can't determine

• Solid particles respond more rapidly to disturbances because they are far apart.

• Solid particles respond more rapidly to disturbances because they are closer together.

• Solid particles respond less to disturbances because they are far apart.

A classification of wave that are capable of transferring energy through a vacuum.

• Wave

• Electromagnetic Wave

• Mechanical Wave

A classification of wave that can only travel through a medium.

It is the MATTER through which a wave travels through.

Choose an example of Electromagnetic Wave.

• Sound wave

• Medium

• Light wave

Give an example of Mechanical Wave.

What are the two types of waves?

• water waves

• Transverse and Longitudinal

• Sound wave and light waves

It is a type of wave where in particle motion is perpendicular to the wave motion.

• Transverse Wave

• Longitudinal Wave

• Sound Waves

It is a type of wave where in particle motion is parallel to the wave motion.
